CaptureLeave Detailed Features

CaptureLeave provides a consistent, concise leave of absence management and PTO tracking for organizations of any size. The system is a web-based absence management system that will enable you to securely manage employee leave requests in a painless interface. CaptureLeave also facilitates the back and forth of the leave request process by enabling a secure messaging system between end users and admins or managers. Lastly, because we recognize that no two organizations have the same attendance and absence policies, we have a secure and robust document management system built right into CaptureLeave.

Please see the detailed listing of CaptureLeave’s features or take the system for a test here. 

Automatic Accruals:

• Your users can earn or accrue leave based on different parameters you set. For example, instead of using complicated Excel spreadsheets to calculate leave accruals, set CaptureLeave to automatically calculate leave daily, every two weeks, twice a month, first of every month, once a month, or even yearly.

• Set accrual maximums to prevent ad infinitum leave accruals. This is also a great safety feature to ensure your system is not just doling out leave accrual infinitely.

• Set Carry Forward Unused days to ensure “use it or lose it” policies are adhered to.

 

Simplified Leave Process:

• Set [Default Days Off] to whatever number you consider to be the absolute minimum amount of time off new employees can earn.

• Customize your organization's time and date format to ensure that CaptureLeave works for your local needs.

• If you want to offer time off in hours as well as days, use the [Daily Working Hours] feature to set your official number of working hours each day.

• Set the Legal Holiday schedule each year. You can use our system official Legal Holidays set up for your country or create your own.

• Group level leave set up. As different organizations have different teams with different leaves of absence needs, we have enabled CaptureLeave to offer User Groups (or Team) level set up which you can customize for your own organization. You can even set up manager-level functions using the user groups you set up. By the way, User Groups can be customized with their own Default Time Off, Accrual settings, as well as Accrual methods.

• Custom Labels are these powerful little tools that help you create and define different leave types. Do you want to set up leave for a special group which might not be paid leave? You can even add your own select color for these custom labels.

• So, assuming you are like most people who prefer simplicity, you have the option to upload your user list directly into CaptureLeave. You can even set up users to go straight into the specific groups you like. We are all about saving you time and money.

• Once everything is set up to your specifications, processing leave is actually fun and speedy. Your employees submit their leave requests and the manager level user or admins get to approve or reject it. Cool, huh? And, of course, you can also set up leave requests manually, but who wants to do that?

 

Reporting and things:

• So you have your brand new CaptureLeave account implemented and you ditched your spreadsheet. You did ditch the spreadsheet, right? Good! You can now see the true power of CaptureLeave. Welcome to reporting and things.

• Command view from the Dashboard. Your Dashboard gives you easy access to your organization’s leave calendar, your custom leave requests, your pending leave requests, as well as an easy-to-read chart of your leave utilization.

• You said more reports? Sure. Click on any date and CaptureLeave gives you an instant rundown of your leave of absence picture. Who is in and who is out? Want to find out who is out next week? What about the last three weeks? Done and done.

• Use the custom leave report to find out who is taking extra time in Fiji or Punta Cana. Well, you asked..

• I forgot. You want last year’s report? How about two years ago? No worries. As long as you have data, we will give you reports.

• So, I have a confession. I said ditch the spreadsheets. Well, yeah, except ours. Hee-hee. We have Excel reports you can download and they are the most beautiful Excel reports you have ever seen.

Views:

Document Management:

• Leave of absence policies form the basis of your vacation tracking. Use the document management system to create and distribute company policies as well as other vital information to your entire organization or to only select groups of people.

• Create as many document categories as you like. This helps organize your document library.

• Upload documents in various formats including Word, videos, audio, HTML, pdf and more.

• Define access limits for the various documents you want to assign out. You can either assign documents to as many users as you like or limit access to specific users or levels.

• Document management logs. With many industries being worried about document authenticity and chain of position rules, CaptureLeave enables automatic logging to ensure that any changes to your documents are being documented and recorded.

 

Messaging:

• In today’s fast-paced business environment, communication is absolutely key. Use the CaptureLeave messaging system to quickly send and receive messages from your team.

• Messages from your users come into the Admin system and wait for processing. Once the message is responded to, the system establishes a detail thread of the back and forth messaging between the sender and receiver.

• You can even use messages to send attachments and documents in your messages. Think about how easy it will be to attach an absence policy document to a request for information on your company’s HR policies.
